Materials and Tools:

Cheeky Plates

fresh or fake flowers

hot glue gun

scissors

elastic cord

Instructions:

Cut out the center circle of the plate. Then, cut a slit to the center of the circle and shape into a cone. Use hot glue to hold in place.

Using the brim of the plate, create a cylinder and hot glue to the bottom edge of the cone.

Hot glue your favorite flowers to the the brim of the hat. Cut holes on the sides and tie in the elastic cord for the strap of the hat.

Trim the center circle away from the brim of the paper plate. Cut a slit to the center of the circle and then form into a cylinder. Use hot glue to hold in place.

Use the brim of the plate to create a cylinder that is the circumference of the bottom of the hat. Hot glue in place.

Time to decorate! Grab your real or fake flowers and hot glue onto the bottom brim of your party hat.

Cut a small hole on either sides of the party hat and attach an elastic cord strap. Continue adding flowers to the brim of the hat.

Fresh party hats for you and your guests. Each one is unique, just like your BAEs ;)

Fun fact: Fellow DIYer Irene and I share the same birthday, March 2 (which is coming up, so don’t forget to send us a gift)! We were born in the same year and, you’ll never believe it, even around the same time of day! This year we will both be 25, so we created a pink party to get our birthday celebration started.

One party must is having all your friends dress up in theme. For our party, this meant dressing up in our favorite new color, power pink. We got all of these outfits from Forever 21!

Sometimes partying can be exhausting. Feel free to take a break and fan your guests ;)

And with that, I wanted to test out my newly acquired sewing skills to add a little desertchic (it’s so hot RN) to the bedroom with some fun, colorful pillows. I’ll show you how to make three pillows - easy, medium and difficult - so you too can have a dreamy bedroom with some serious desert vibes. But please note this one caveat: The skill levels I’ve assigned to the pillows are based on my very entry-level sewing skills. Pro seamstresses could probably whip these out in no time. So, if you’re like me and want to get reacquainted with your sewing machine, scroll on and see how it’s done. EASY: SERAPE BLANKET BOLSTER PILLOW
Alright y’all, if you can work a sewing machine in any basic capacity, you can make this p…

If you haven’t heard, ’80s fashion is *SO* in. While there are definitely some trends that should stay in that decade, I’m all in for other looks like graphic sweatshirts and holographic apparel. When I brainstormed what I should do for this shoot, I looked up ’80s fashion and saw this awesome roller skating photo, and it was like a light when on! I wanted - no, I needed to DIY roller skates. Decorating your roller skates with sequin polka dots is really simple. Depending on how many dots you do, you can definitely finish this DIY in a couple of hours or less. All you need then are knee socks, and boom - you’re a roller girl!
